How can I change a negative number to positive number



Copy and paste the following macro into your personal macro workbook. All
you have to do is select what you want to negate and run the macro. I
assigned a custom button with the picture "(-)" and name "Negate Selection".
Take notes Microsoft.

Sub Negate()

Dim h, w, hctr, wctr As Integer
Dim selectionRange() As Variant

h = Selection.Rows.Count
w = Selection.Columns.Count
selectionRange = Selection.Value
hctr = 1
wctr = 1

While hctr <= h
While wctr <= w
selectionRange(hctr, wctr) = selectionRange(hctr, wctr) * -1
wctr = wctr + 1
Wend
wctr = 1
hctr = hctr + 1
Wend

Selection.Value = selectionRange

End Sub
